Wild in the Streets (485)

Wild in the Streets

After his loss at the hands of Roark, Ash is training in order to defeat the Rock Trainer. However, Team Rocket are still working on their way to awaken a powerful Fossil Pokémon to give to Giovanni. Finally succeeding in reviving an Aerodactyl, it starts causing havoc in Oreburgh City. Can Ash & Co. stop the Aerodactyl and Team Rocket?

Looks like Ash will be using his same 3 for the gym battle. Poor Mukkubird. He's training Pikachu, Naetoru and Aipom by smashing rocks.

Sudowoodo and Naetoru have a practice battle, with flashbacks of Aipom getting creamed at the gym in Ash's head.

Some will be happy to know Mimirol did some slight flirting with Pimpachu.

Looks like Hikari gets wind of the next contest being held.

Hooray! A Kabutops! But teamed up with an Armaldo

Two scientists and Officer Jenny get plugged by Aerodactyl's hyper beam.

Guess I have to wait to see the episode in motion. Doesn't look too shabby.

Also seems that Hyota walks up on Ash and Brocks practice battle, and more flashbacks of both Ash's Match and Shinji's match occur, also hikari is the one who saved Ash from the Hyper Beam, Poochama and Mimoru stop it with a combined Bubble Ice Beam.

Thank God, I was worried that Mimirol quirk had died after its capture episode. The chances for Hot Pikachu-on-S!ut-Bunny Action still exist.

Pokemon attacking the humans, on top of demolishing the city, resulting in the need to bring bloody tanks in...wow, the writers actually made these Pokemon seem like a real threat. Like I've said before, shame this episode had such an awful animation director, as it looks pretty intense.

Glad Kabutops gets some screentime, although Lileep and Cradily continue to be royally gypped. Armaldo got most of the attention in the fossil filler in Hoenn, anyways, and it does again here. As for Aerodactyl, I practically don't even care about the thing anymore.

I liked the way Hikari's Pokemon dealt with Aerodactyl by using the spinning dodge move they'd been working on for contests. And as shown in the preview for the next episode, that even gave Ash an idea because Pikachu is shown doing the same thing. And the part where Hikari saved Ash and Pikachu from the Hyper Beam was awesome.

Dissapointed. I expected some drama and nothing happened. It went all so fast, just a couple of explosions and that's it. I hate Hikari's cute team, it makes the anime childish when they go to battle dancing and making acrobatic moves. Rampart is ugly

The anime has always had a childish side, heck much of it is childish. And acrobatics (or that is, graceful moves and good reflexes) are important in a number of real fighting techniques like martial arts so why not have them be so in pokemon?

An I love that kind of acrobatics (I'm a Kill Bill lover for example) but I just hate the ones made with a background of starts or hearts, and the ones that fit rhytmic gymnastics more.

And I also wonder why did they amde a fossil epp if Tatetops didn't appear. I hope they don't make another fossil epp to show Tatetops.

Really liked the episode
Things that I liked/important to note:
- At the beginning of the episode Ash is training and its always good to see
- Mimiroru "patted" Pikachu with its ear and it seems like it congratulated Pikachu for its training... nice to see they didn't forgot that Mimiroru is in love with it
- Hikari said to Ash that he has a lot of Pokémon with this "someone who writes Pokémon poem" and Ash corrects her to "Proffesor Oak" then Hikari said that Ash can take some of them that are good against rock type or that she can lend to him her Pochama but Ash said that he wants to win with these Pokémon because they also want to prove themselves and I think when he has a flashback to Shinji's battle he says that like Shinji could win with his Pokémon he will also do so (I LOVE all these friendship/we won't give up! stuff ^_^ and it's fun to be able to understand things without sub ^_^ but remember my translation may not be THAT accurate but it's probably right)
- Brock offers to Ash to train with him and Sudowoodo because it's a rock type and it was really nice to see Brock do something and we also got to see more trainings (and to compare how they made Brock in AG and now in DP I think that now they at least try to make him better... he explained a lot about the attacks/abilities in the gym battles and got an episode about him and now this... let's hope this will continue)
- Hikari said she thought of a great combination and that she goes to the Pokémon Center to train
- Hikari see an announcement on the big screen at the Pokémon Center that says that the next Pokémon Contest will be at Sono Town and Hikari said that this time she will get the ribbon
- Pochama and Mimiroru succeed to do the combination
- It was really nice to see Ash protects Pikachu and Hikari protects Pochama and Mimiroru
- It was also nice to see Hikari saves Ash
- Pochama and Mimiroru battled Aerodactyl with the combination and it was amazing
- Ash noticed how good this combination is and started to think that this is how he'll be able to win in the gym and I liked this because it was nice to see Ash learn from Hikari and not the opposite like was with Ash/May
- Zugaidosu evolved
- Brock/Gregguru XD
- Ash says to Hyouta that he want to battle him again and he asks Ash if he thought of something and Ash said that this is right (and I'm not sure but I think Ash said to Hikari that he thought on this thanks to her)

I liked the episode. Though it was a bit redundant seeing the "Aerodactyl, who went out of control"-theme, I loved the fact Rampard apeared in it. It doesnt look "ugly" at all, it looks cool and pretty unique for a rock type Pokemon. It was cool to see Kabutops and Armaldo again, though they could've give Cradily some screen time.

Overall, a pretty good episode. I have a certain "thing" for fossil Pokemon and rock-types, for they are one of my favorites (coming after dragon-types, though). That new Rampurado is something that doesn't take the appearance of a Pokemon when you first look at it...but is still one regardless and suddenly looks like one after you see it again. XD *didn't make sense* It has a unique look, which I actually like a lot. Nevertheless, Aerodactyl. *_* That new attack was awesome, I was hoping it would be a new one, and it definitely appears to be a Giga Attack. (Although I'm wondering how other types would perform it, for Elekible learns it as well. A yellow and black attack. So cool. *_*) And there's something about Hikari that makes me like her, even though I do not like her line-up thus far (unless the little blue penguin evolves, then I'll like it a lot. Or that rabbit thing could evolve).

~ COMING SOON ~

Shiftry leapt into the air, shrieking and roaring as she started glowing and absorbing the sun’s light. Leaves shifted and curled at the edges as footsteps sounded on the grass. Her eyes were wide open and crazed, glazed with a white radiance. A slim, dark figure spontaneously crossed overhead, elegant and mysterious as it disappeared within the rose-colored vortex. It all seemed like a medieval fantasy; only reality blended in to make it all seem practical. The new otherworldly essence drifted in, allowing the illumination to bless the woman and reveal herself to the world. Karen had arrived
